Walking In The Light

Chris finished up the lights yesterday. Nicole came to help him after her last day of work. The house looks ready to live in now that we've got lights on demand.
The plugs and switches are all in. And the NuHeat thermostat to heat the tile floor in the ensuite will be very nice on cold winter days.
We put a dimmer switch in the living room and dining room so things don't always have to be so bright.
These puck lights underneath the cabinets are a nice feature I could get used to really fast.
The heating guy was here yesterday doing his thing.
Heat registers and cold-air returns are all up and running.
He also installed the stove/oven. It's a gas convection oven, and yes, it does have the "convection converter" button I was hoping for. You input the regular time and temp of your recipe and it automatically adjust the time and temp for the convection oven. It also has three levels of self cleaning, depending on how big my mess gets!
The thermostat is installed and working to keep us warm in winter. The painters didn't feel like removing the old one that was temporarily there to paint under it, so now we have a nice pink spot under it. They'll be back, and they'll be touching that up!
We (by "we" I mean Chris) put a fan in the vaulted ceiling of the master bedroom to help keep the heat down on those (hopefully) hot summer days.
The plumber switched the shower fixtures in the girls bathroom. That'll make it so much easier to wash their hair! And the shower, too!
